Prevention of Moths.

The best preventive of naoths is care.
Cedar chests, camphor and pepper
avail nothing if garment is laid away
with the egg of the moth in it. If it is,
in season, shut up in paper or cloth so
that no millers can possibly reach it,
there will be no need of pungent doors.
Benzine is the best remedy if the moths
have stolen q march and are ravaging
carpets or furniture. Pour it freely
upon any carpet or upholstered furni-
ture and it will not stain.-A6rance.

OUR BRITISH ADMINISTRATIONS.

Mr. X. S. Spoford. though Democrat, shows
that he cares more for public interest than 1Cr
party, and therefore has criticised the Admin
istration with remarkable plainncss and force
lie it was who first set forth with peculiar
severity the misconduct of the President and
Secretary Of State in the matter OF the fish
cries, and in connection with that he finds
ground for ccnsurc not less severe in the un-
warranted favor extended TO the Canadian
Pacific, in disregard of the Act Of Congress
by which the Treaty Of Washington was abb
rogatcd. 1t is by the favoritism OF this Brit-
ish Administration, ne shows that the Cana
dian Pacific is enabled to compete effectively
with transcontincntal routes in this country
The Treasury has provided for transporting
merchandise through the Dominion Of Canada
TO ports in the United States, as the Treaty OF
Washington permitted. But the Act of Con-
e,ess abrogating the treaty had no other pur-
pose than to put an end to the favors therein
granted, and, as respects Article 30, TO put an
end TO the transportation Of merchandise be-
tween points in the United States over the
Canadian lines.
An official Of the Administration, replying
TO Mr.. Sponord, claimed that the transportation
authorized not only by the treaty but by
previous statute of 1866. Mr.. Sponord in reply
quotes that statute. which provides that i'm
ported merchandise in bond and products or
manufactures OF this country may be trans
ported over the territory of tho
provinces "by such routes and under
such regulations and conditions as the
Secretary OF the Treasury may prescribe"
Plainly this statute on'y permits the Secretary
to extend the favor in question, but as Mr.
Spofford justly urges, the later treaty has
superseded this act, and it was unqucstionaby
the intent of Congress, in abrogating the treaty,
to put an end to the practices which had been
expressly provided for by that treaty Of later
date than the law in question. 1t is not
strange that Mr.. SpoiIora and many others
are disposed to ccnsure the action Of the Adj
mnistration in this particular, and Mr.. Spot
ford saws, On the suppositon that the Act Of
1866 is still in full force:
II was wholly in the Secrctary's discretion whether
he would permit tho Canadian Pacific Railway TO be
bonded under It's own or any other tile and thus TO
become q competitor with own tianscontinental
lines And It is a legitimate and gricvous subject OF
complaint that the Secretary OF the treasury moved
thereunto by valuable equivalent, granted TINS
GREAT privilege to the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany of San Francisco, knowing thai lis route "oulu
be for tho whole extent Of the continent via The cana
dian Pacific Railway, and granted II Notwithstanding
the assertion Of an opposite policy by the Congress OF
tho United States, and Notwithstanding the constant
denial by the Canadian Government to our own CHI
IONS Of the right Of transportation In It's maritime
provinces

ninistratiOn q deliberate intention 10 servo

FREDERICK DOUGLASS TO TIE TOTER

FREDERICK DOUGLASS TO TIE VOTERS
Advancing years have impaired the health
of Frederick Douglass, but they have not dc
priycd him of sound judgment and mental
yigor. His letter on another page, addressed
TO the chairman of the Republican State Com
mt,cc and through him to the voters of New
York and particularly to those OF his own race
is a notable contribution to the literature OIL
the opening campaign. 1t is sound trcnchant
and convincing, simple and solid.
Mr.. Douglass does not pretend to enter upon
an elaborate discussion Of campaign issues,
but every phrase is suggestion and every
cpithct an argument He brushes away the
impudcnt doctrine, 50 eagerly promulgated
Just now by the independent partiSans OF
Democracy, that the history, principles and
policy Of the two parties leave little choice
bcwccn them to those who value good govern
mcnt. and that the results OF the war are as
safe in the hands Of one as Of the other. lie
remarks with no less truth than humor that
ON the few occasions when the Democratic
party has appeared to any advantage IL has
owed that unusual distinction to the fact that
it had put on, ut second hand, Republican
clothing His letter naturally has special
claim upon the careful consideration OF coloicd
men. but we commend il 10 the attention OF
every voter. Mr. Douglass is unfortunately
prevented by the uncertain condition OF his
health from acccding to the Committees desire
that he should speak from the Republican
platform this fall. but their invitation was
well sent. since it has drawn from him this
incisiyc and inspiritng appeal.

less rely upon the large Democratic majority here
to support them in their unjust work.
| The leaders Of the Democratic Ring in Baiti-
more are trying to arouse local Indignation
against the ~slanderers" of the city. Its real
slanderers are the men who put murderers and
thieves into office TO misrcpresent honest people.
Thus far in his speech making tour Mr.
Cleveland has given evidence of only one quality
useful TO public spealler-a sense OF humor.
Here and there is n touch of it that by contrast
with the rest of the Government Printing Office
matter he offers his Western audiences shows
to decided advantage. We advise Mr.. Cleveland
to cultivate the humorous rather than statistics,
and above all avoid boysh complaints. lie had
narrow escape at Milwaukee the other night
from another outburst of pecvishness like the
famous one at Harvard Referring 10 the Presl-
dency he spoke of those who thought their
duty as citizens fulfilled "by settling down to
bitter malignant, senseless criticism Of the
actions of the incumbent and characterized as
still more unpatriotic those who, having ne'ther
party discomfort nor fair ground of criticism to
excuse or Justify their conduct, rail because
of personal disappointment who misrepresent for
sensational purposes" ETC. Mr.. Cleveland's notion
that he is very badly treated is pucrile, and
OF politics.
The devotees of that great American institu-
ton Apple Pie will rejoice at the news which
comes from the orchards OF Down East. There is

President Cleveland went fishing Saturday.
This will give some carping critics OF the present
Administration a chance to remark that the
Presidential journey is nothing but fishing
expedition.
The saloon-luecpcrs of Chattanooga have volun-
tarly pledged themselves to refrain from doing
business hereafter on Sunday They do this out

the community shown ia tine recent cicciIons In

are organizing TO strike down every Republican
candidate for the Legislature, and a new party
has been formed on the sole issue of opening the
saloons on Sunday. Humility is not Characteristic
of the liquor power in these parts.
The female smugglcr has been shown up WIN
surprising frequency since the customs inslec-
tGesscs began their work.
Democratic Civil Service reform is farcicaly
illustrated by the election of State officer as
chairman of the Democratic State Executive Com
mttee. There is provision of the State Civil
Service law against such an officer holding such
position. That. however, does not count with
Democratic "reloGmersr so long as they can
